Wednesday's GOP debate might have been a setback for some presidential contenders, but Ted Cruz wasn't among them. His team raised $1.1 million between the debate and Thursday afternoon, Cruz told Fox News, per the Hill. "That is a real demonstration, I think, of the hunger Republican primary voters have for someone who will actually stand and fight for them," he said, according to the Washington Post. Backers apparently agree with some pundits who say Cruz was a winner that night, thanks to his early attacks on the media. Earlier this month, Cruz's campaign said it had raised $12 million in the third quarter and $26 million since March. (Read more Ted Cruz stories.)

Since when does the GOP fight for anyone but themselves? The GOP was going to toss us seniors under the bus by trying to cut or end social security as we know it. Until someone interfered and found a answer to the problem. Think if the GOP were to cut social security what would happen?
